Regarding the circular definitions, it has always struck me that weaknesses are flaws that may or may not be exploitable to cause negative impact whereas vulnerabilities are flaws known to be exploitable to cause negative impact. A rewrite of the definitions to match this concept:

All, One issue I see with these definitions of vulnerability and weakness is that they are circular, i.e. each term uses the other in its definition. So when each term is replaced with its definition in the other term's definition, it is impossible to resolve what is intended. I have tried

I still recommend deleting at the end of the definition of weakness "... in a range of products made by different vendors. It adds no value, and actually unintentionally limits applicability by implying weaknesses only apply to products made by vendors. Regards, Joe On Wed, Jul 13, 2022, 12:08
